Umm whaaaat? The truck that got up the hill the fastest has the lowest amount of power and torque by a decent amount? And the truck with the highest power and second highest torture got last? Does this support the theory we had about gearing being why the Ford lost and if you raised or lowered the weight causing them to shift, the results would have been different?

Haha. I do watch their tests up the IKE and I don't mind Andre...he seems to actually care about being knowledgeable. But there still is too much goofiness I think...

That said, any test we win is one I'll point out to my brother (the GM fanatic). Any test we'll lose I won't say anything about because he doesn't Internet so good.

I like the Zero to 60 test.
I like the 21,000 LBS at the hitch test.
No distribution hitch required.
I like the better ride test.
I like the quieter cab test.
I like that I can haul more and tow more test.
And I for one am content with the Dyno test results.
Yea, I don't like the results of the other test but I am very happy with the 2017 Super Duty. Can't win them the all.

Funny how everyone wanted all 3 trucks on one dyno, because anything is unfair. Now all 3 are on one dyno, and I guess now we can't trust that either. Hmmm.
Am I the only one that sees Ford as the real winner in that test? I thought those numbers looked about as expected, so no disappointment here. I am not at all surprised about the TQ the Ram produced. That motor was always built for TQ. It just isn't enough to make up for the lagging HP and, oh ... the rest of the truck!
The only real surprise to me was GM's numbers - which were lower than I expected. But GM has always towed like a screamin' deamon with lower numbers, so again no surprise.
